Chapter 508: Kidnah's Bell Tower

Thursday, August 21, rain, afternoon, Shibuya.

Sonoko, Lan, and Mei Daizi walked in front each holding an umbrella, while Yamazaki and Conan walked behind holding an umbrella.

Passing a big intersection, just at a red light, Yuanzi smiled and said, "By the way, Lan, your mother may also go to the party."

"Really? That's really great." Lan smiled, then looked at the opposite side of the street and was stunned, and then wanted to run to the opposite side, but was stopped by Yuanzi and Mei Daizi.

Mei Daizi said: "It's a red light now."

Yuanzi said, "Yes, Lan, what are you looking at?"

"I saw Xinyi over there just now." Lan tried to look into the distance, but there were so many people and umbrellas that he couldn't see clearly. Then he said with some disappointment, "Xinyi was walking with a beautiful girl."

No way? Conan straightened his triangular eyes, and now I am walking with the boy Yamazaki.

"What!" Yuanzi said, "This is impossible." He said and looked at Mei Daizi.

"Don't look at me, I didn't see it, there are too many umbrellas." Mei Daizi asked, "Brother, have you seen it?"

"I didn't see Shinichi." Yamazaki smiled, "But I saw Kaito and Aoko." Then he said to Ran, "You may have misread it. From behind, Kaito and Shinichi are very similar."

"No, what I saw was the front face." Lan said.

Yamazaki sighed in his heart, Kaito seems to have forgotten to change his appearance.

Conan said: "Sister Lan, you read it wrong, it's raining so far away."

"How is it possible?" Lan said, "I will definitely not be wrong about Xinyi."

"Uh, didn't you say he was working as an undercover agent in some school? Maybe he was on a mission." Sonoko said, "Anyway, don't worry about that idiot who only cares about reasoning."

A big fool who only cares about reasoning? Conan felt a toothache.

"Yeah, leave him alone, let's go shopping." Mei Daizi said, "When I see him someday, I'll catch him for you."

"Yeah, let's go, let's go." Sonoko said. ...

Night, Kuroba Kaito.

Kaito received a call from Yamazaki, "Kaito, are you in Shibuya this afternoon?"

Kaito smiled and said, "Yes, but I remembered that I forgot to change my appearance when I saw you, so I didn't say hello, and I don't want to become a bag-carrying person." Then he asked, "What's wrong?"

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Lan thought it was Shinichi Kudo shopping with girls."

"Then we must frame him a few more times." Kaito said.

"Why, there is a grudge?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "You have never fought against each other, have you?"

"Yes, although we didn't meet each other directly." Kaito said, "I got it from the Nakamori Police Department yesterday. The time at the clock tower in front of Ekoda Station was that guy Kudo Shinichi who helped the Nakamori Police Department on the helicopter. He fired two shots at me, causing the police department to write a report for a day." He recalled that action. ...

On the fourth day after Operation Moon Eyes, Jiang Gutian High School.

Kaito watched the news in the newspaper about the increase in the number of Kaito Kid's female fans from his seat, and laughed triumphantly, and then found that the newspaper was torn in half by Aoko.

"What are you reading?" Qingzi snatched the newspaper and tore it into pieces.

He yelled at Kaito, "This kind of thief Qingzi will not worship him, and by the way, any celebrity is much better than him."

"Don't be so angry." Kaito caught the fragments of newspaper flying in the air and clenched them into a ball, "Even if that thief made your father lose face again and again, that's something you can't help, because he is A big monster who won't be caught." Then he counted to three, and with Qingzi's surprised expression, he turned the shredded newspaper into a whole newspaper, and then said triumphantly, "Those policemen won't be able to catch it even if it's the end of the world. His."

"What, it's the same as Kidd, except that he knows a little bit of magic." Qingzi said, "A while ago, he said Kidd's bad, but now he's speaking for Kidd again. The guy who returned is just a liar."

Kaito said in his heart, I can't help it, I can't speak ill of myself now.

Koizumi Hongzi came over and said with a smile: "That's right, look at the debris on the ground, Kaito is holding another newspaper." Then he leaned closer to Kaito and said, "But I like this kind of little liar, like a prankster Like a teenager."

Qingzi quickly said: "Hongzi, Hongzi, don't be deceived, because after all, that guy is a criminal and a villain." Then he asked, "And Hongzi, did you see it on the TV news, Kidd?" Next prey?"

Hongzi Koizumi said, "Ah, it seems to be the old clock tower in front of the station."

"Yes, it belongs to all our citizens, but he wants to steal the bell tower," Qingzi asked, "don't you think it's too much?"

"Yes, that's right." Koizumi Hongko looked at Kaito and smiled.

Momoi Keiko came over and said, "But I heard that the clock tower will be removed soon, it seems to be used as a symbol of some theme park, everyone is saying, anyway, it will disappear, it is better to let Master Kidd steal it gone."

Qingzi said: "What is not allowed is simply not allowed."

"Hey, did you really steal this clock tower because of the jewels on it?" Koizumi Hongko asked Kaito's ear.

Kaito said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you that I am not Kidd, how could I be Kidd."

"I got this out of divination. From that day on, behind you there was that white figure walking in the dark." Hongzi Koizumi said, "By the way, I will tell you another divination. Thousands of bells are ringing, and those who stop you will fly from the eastern sky. The day when the bell tower rings for the 20,000th time happens to be the night you predicted, which is twelve o'clock on Saturday night."

Kaito asked, "Really?"

"Believe it or not." Koizumi Hongzi smiled, "Your failure is my happiness. Oh, huh..."

Kaidou smiled and said, "Hey, hey, Hongzi, you've seen too many puppet shows."

Koizumi Hongzi did not answer, but returned to the table. ...

The day when the clock tower operation in front of Ekoda Station took place.

The clock tower in front of Jianggutian Station was built fifty years ago by a businessman who invited a famous watch technician from abroad and spent a lot of money to make it specially, especially the short hand. In addition to the technician’s signature, it is also inlaid with a large diamond. Items of high artistic value.

Fifty years later, the businessman's descendants decided to move the clock tower into a theme park. However, when the construction started, I received a notice letter from Kaitou Kidd, "Saturday night, as the clock strikes zero, I will come to worship the big clock, Kaitou Kidd."

Kidd brought down an inspector, changed it to his appearance, and memorized the information on his driver's license. His name was Izumi Yoichi, he lived in Jiangxiaotian, he was 27 years old, and he was unmarried. Then, on the grounds that he saw a suspicious figure and picked up the top hat and cloak of the suspected phantom thief Kidd, the Nakamori Police Department decided to meet him in person, so that he passed the security check in front of the clock tower and entered the clock tower. However, I was stopped by several police officers on the fourth floor. After checking my identity, the police asked me to report my driver's license number.

Kidd reported the number, and then saw the surprised expressions on the policemen's faces, and immediately realized that ordinary people couldn't remember this thing, so he ran away. Then when I entered the vent of the bathroom on the third floor and was about to climb up, I was chased by the police again.

Kidd used a hypnotic spray to bring down the pursuers, used their walkie-talkie to call out the police on the stairs on the fourth floor, then ran up to the top floor like this, delivered a hypnotic egg and knocked down the few guards in front of the outer passage leading to the clock tower. A policeman came from the passage to the outside of the clock tower.

Kidd put a smoke bomb, took the opportunity to hang a curtain on the construction shelf outside the clock tower, placed the projector, and then heard a cheer, until the smoke cleared, the audience found that they had stolen the big clock.

Kidd smiled smugly, and then started to work, only to find that the big gemstone he wanted to take was actually a fake.

"Ah, this damn profiteer!" Kidd said angrily, "Fortunately, I didn't come here just for this." Then he carved a code word on the clock face.

At this time, the Nakamori Police Department also came out, and found that Kidd was nearby, and wanted to use the walkie-talkie to notify other people, but was knocked out by a flying card.

"Good evening, Nakamori Police Department." Kidd smiled.

The Nakamori Police Department said: "Kidd, you surrender quickly, you can't escape."

Kidd said: "You have a lot of confidence. Today's actions are not your style. I didn't expect that the famous Nakamori Police Department also started looking for helpers."

"Who's looking for help?" Nakamori Police Department shouted, "It was the guy from the Megure Police Department who found a kid from somewhere and insisted on getting in."

At this time, Kidd noticed that the sound of the helicopter was approaching, and the curtain began to shake. At the same time, a gunshot broke the rope on the left lower leg of the curtain, and the rope was next to the Nakamori police station, less than one meter away.

Seeing that the police department of Nakamori turned pale, Kidd smiled and said, "Your assistant has good marksmanship."

Nakamori Police Department picked up the walkie-talkie and yelled, "Mumu, who told you to shoot."

"Ah, that..." The voice of Meguro Police Department came from the walkie-talkie.

At this time, another shot was fired, and the rope at the lower right foot of the curtain broke.

"Mumu!" Nakamori Police Department shouted.

"I didn't shoot the gun, it wasn't me." The voice of the Mumu Police Department came from the walkie-talkie, "Give me back the gun."

"Okay, Police Department Nakamori, I'm not interested in playing anymore." Kidd said, "I left a code word on the dial, if you are interested, you can decipher it."

"The helicopter is so close, you can't use the hang glider at all, do you want to jump directly from the height of more than ten meters?" Nakamori Police Department smiled proudly, "I think it's better to come here obediently and let me arrest you .”

Kidd laughed and said, "Jump down? That's a good idea, thank you, Police Department Nakamori." As he spoke, he broke the ropes tied at the left and right ends above the curtain with a card gun, and jumped directly with the curtain instead of the hang glider.

Seeing the huge curtain falling on the crowd, covering at least dozens of people and causing panic, the Zhongmori Police Department understood that this must have made the thief escape, "Damn guy."

Among the crowd, Qingzi, the only one holding a sign for Kaidou Kidd, shouted excitedly: "It's great, the big clock tower is still there, and Kidd failed." Then he said, "Unfortunately, Kaito was not shown. to this scene."

At this time, someone next to him said, "Hey, are you waiting for someone too?"

Qingzi saw it, and shouted in surprise: "Quick fight!"

"Here you are," Kaito conjured a rose with his backhand, "My name is Kuroba Kaito, please give me your advice."

"Quick fight." Qingzi said in surprise.

"You don't think I've forgotten it, do you?" Kaidou said with a smile, "That guy who was waiting for Dad so much that he was about to cry."

"Black Feather Kaito." Qingzi gritted his teeth and said, then directly threw the sign in his hand at Kaito.

Kaito dodged quickly, then turned around and ran away. Aoko chased after him holding a rose in one hand and waving a sign in the other. She didn't realize that Kaito's actions were a little unnatural. ...

Kaito smiled when he thought of this, and then heard Yamazaki's voice on the phone, "The code you left on the clock tower, write the katakana in Roman alphabet, and move each vowel one place clockwise , it became "the bell of this clock tower will not be handed over to you". In the process of deciphering the code, the police found that the big gemstone on the clock tower was a fake, so the value of the clock tower plummeted and was bought by Jianggutian City Government at a low price This can be regarded as stealing the big clock from the merchant, and it is the same as what you said in the notice letter, so that operation can be regarded as a success."

"Reluctantly." Kaito said, "It's a pity that the big gemstone is a fake."

Yamazaki said: "Okay, next time change your appearance and walk around in front of Lan."

"Okay, but in exchange, you have to tell me one thing," Kaito said, "I saw you enter the dress store later, so you have to tell me what dress Lan bought, so that I don't have to take the time to find out. .”

"Want to disguise as Ran?" Yamazaki asked, "You don't mean you want to get on the cruise ship and get the Suzuki family's idea?"

"Why not? It's safe, isn't it?" Kaito laughed, "Just help them train the security guards."

"I think it's helping you level up." Yamazaki smiled, and then told about the clothes Lan bought.

"What! One and a half million yen!" Kaito asked in surprise, "Really? Why buy such an expensive dress?"

"Sonoko picked it," Yamazaki said with a smile. "A set of women's dresses and a men's dress cost 3 million yen, which directly maxed out Uncle Mori's bank card."

"So it's that young lady." Kaito asked, "What about you and Mei Daizi?"

"We don't plan to meet outsiders, so we don't plan to wear a dress to go there." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Now that we know Kidd will go, there is no need to prepare a dress."

"By the way, I want to ask a question about cultivation." Kaito said, "I feel that I have stopped now, and I have not made any progress at all. I know that this is my current limit. I want to ask Let’s see if it will improve in the future.”

Yamazaki said: "Yes, but it will be very slow, very slow, so slow that you lose the confidence to practice. But don't worry, this is normal. Now it's just that your original foundation is good, and you have transformed this foundation, so you will Seeing results so quickly."

Kaito said: "I see, I thought the foundation would be laid in a hundred days, and it would be over."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Heh, 'Building a foundation in a hundred days'."

"Yes, that's the word." Kaito laughed.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Our family thinks that the one hundred days of foundation building you mentioned can only exercise skeletal muscles. You are talking about people who had no material conditions in ancient times. After a hundred days of recuperation, they can have the foundation to start practicing. It’s not about completing the basic practice.”

Kaito asked: "So, what do you think of this 'Hundred Days Foundation Building'?"

Yamazaki said: "Our family thinks that it is best to start laying the foundation after a baby is a hundred days old, that is, from crawling. But most of them start after a thousand days, that is, three years old, because from that time people have the initial development. memory and comprehension skills.”

Kaito said: "Uh, I seem to have been trained by my father when I was three years old." Then asked, "Do you have time to talk about the basics?"

"You're going to be disappointed, no." Yamazaki said, "But generally speaking, the first stage of laying the foundation, that is, the stage of the fastest progress and the most accumulation, will end at the age of 24, and you are only 17 now. years old, so don’t be afraid that you won’t see progress.”

"24 years old? Are you developing?" Kaito asked, "with the help of the natural development of the human body?"

"Smart." Yamazaki said.

Kaito smiled and asked: "Afterwards, you can practice 'Qi'?"

"Sorry, I can't answer this question for you." Yamazaki said.

Kaito asked, "So, is there any way to make people improve quickly?"

"Technology may be able to solve this problem in the future," Yamazaki said.

Kaito asked, "Technology? How do you say that?"

Yamazaki said: "Now technology allows people to control machines with their limbs, and it should be possible to use technology to control machines with their minds in the future. In this way, some kind of high-tech materials, such tiny nanomaterials, can be implanted in the human body."

Kaito said: "Nanomaterials that can control the human brain and strengthen the bones and muscles of the human body."

"It doesn't have to be strengthened, it can be wrapped and replaced, who knows." Yamazaki said, "In short, it can greatly increase people's athletic ability."

Kaito said: "Using the mind to control the machine, robot wars and mecha wars will also be possible by then, right? This must be very interesting."

"Robots exist now. I know that there are twelve Terminator T800s in the Migao Group's prop library, but they have no power, no programs, can't make them, and can't move at all. Humanoid mechs, RoboCop-style full-body armor, At present, it is still driven by people.” Yamazaki said, “The power aspect is a big problem, so if you want to watch a real-life cartoon, some have to wait. But if you are talking about aircraft carriers, fighter jets, armored vehicles, airliners, cars, trams , engineering vehicles and other mechs, it is possible to realize unmanned remote control.”

"That's all for the future, let's not talk about it." Kaito asked, "I have another question. Do you think divination is true?"

"I don't know." Yamazaki said with a smile, "It seems that you have encountered a lot of troubles, even divination."

"Forget it." Kaito said, and then asked, "How about helping Mei Daizi get away then?"

"Of course," Yamazaki laughed, "No."

"Okay." Kaito smiled, "Pretend I never said that."

Yamazaki said with a smile: "Yes, this fee will not be included in the consulting fee."

"Consulting fee?" Kaito felt a toothache.

"Of course, I invite you to come around, you ask me about the dress, after that," Yamazaki said with a smile, "you understand."

"I don't understand." Kaito said.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't understand, anyway, you can't pay the bill, and the bill is handed over to Miss Chikage."

Kaito asked, "How much?"

"512 million U.S. dollars." Yamazaki said, "Five in terms of practice, one for 100 million U.S. dollars, technology that may be realized in the future, 10 million U.S. dollars, two items for information, and one for one million U.S. dollars."

"I'm convinced." Kaito said, "Really."

"I can't help it, I'm doing intelligence." Yamazaki smiled, "But don't worry, Miss Chikage won't pay for it out-of-pocket, and for her in the future, it won't be a big number."

"It's just interest, right?" Kaito said, "Then it's on me, and I'll earn it back from you."

"Yes." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Good night, I wish you a sweet dream." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Kaito hung up the phone and said to himself, "I don't know how much that dress costs for a day, but I hope it's not too expensive."...
